(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

The High King The Chronicles of Prydain - Book 5 by Lloyd Alexander

Youth Fiction Pick  

   Written in epic style, The High King, was a good fantasy adventure that thrilled its reader. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough review of the previous story; I felt a little adrift during the story. The book looked like it was going to close kind of lamely for a second, but recovered nicely.


Favorite Quote:

"Memory lives longer than what it remembers."


Overall Opinion:

I think boys will enjoy the series. If they are familiar with the Lord of the Rings series, this one should be a welcome addition.
